The Lion and Lamb in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Me and my partner came for dinner and had the best mac n cheese ever! Such good food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Love that they do a doggie menu too 😁 thank you!

Great local pub, full of friendly locals. A warm cornish welcome! Can't comment on food as didn't eat.

Clean friendly pub. Great food and atmosphere. We were made to feel very welcome. We will definitely go back

Lovely pub. Had a chicken curry that was lovely. Here for the quiz night with friends and family, lovely atmosphere and staff are friendly.

Sunday roast was OK. Small portions but then again not expensive. Desserts were very good. Pleasant staff, good beer, and the toilets were the best I have visited in a long while.

Staying at Tremorvu Campsite neaerby we visited the pub some evenings. The ambience and conversations excellent, music super (thank you, Peter!), and the food delicious!

After enduring a few wet and cold British days we escaped to this cafe to warm up. What a positive surprise. We entered a nice and well-kept pub, where it was busy at the bar and at all the tables. We were warmly welcomed by the bartender and given a table. After having eaten a good meal of the starter, main and dessert, we returned to the tent satisfied. All in all, highly recommended.

On holiday and took my relatives for dinner Needed a pub with normal pub food! Booked a table and loved the menu Ordered 2 sea bass for my relatives loves fish as he was a fisherman from porthleven 2 steak and ale pies never seen on any other places we have been and gammon We all had drinks and I had an ice cream with 3 scoops We were served with Sophie who was lovely and the food was served quickly and hot We all enjoyed our evening chatting and eating as we only see each other every year The bill was only£99.40 good value lovely food and good service I can recommend this pub for good food Will be returning next year!

BEST lasagna I have ever eaten & massive portion Extremely welcoming staff Lovely inside Nice beer selection (lion & lamb IPA was lush) Nice outdoor space

Staff are nice, food is crap and expensive. This is the mojito that they have advertised behind the bar, it's just a lemonade.

After a long day on Pedn Vounder beach and the struggles of actually getting on and back off it, we were ready for a nice drink and some food. 3 shattered and starving cocker spaniels in tow. We arrived and felt welcomed immediately. And imagine our delight at seeing a doggy menu! So 4 steak pies, fish and chips and 3 doggy Sunday lunches ordered and demolished! Clean plates all round. A few games of pool and some cracking music and all the twinkly fairy lights….all made for an enjoyable couple of hours. A very friendly pub. A couple of the locals even came over and gave our 3 girls dog treats. Landlord and staff are lovely. We will definitely try and get back in there before we head home.

We just had Sunday lunch. It was homemade, lots of it and was delicious, all seved by some super friendly staff, the place was immaculate, which is mega important to my wife They even do Sunday doggie dinners! Great playlist in the back ground. They have bands on and sport also This place really ticks all the boxes if you are looking for total value for money. Its important to support local buisiness who are trying really hard. Well done to all onvolved, we will be back

Went for a late lunch early tea on our holiday after a day out. Excellent tasty meal for all, kids cleared their plates. Staff were lovely. We played dominos, drafts and boys watched the football. Was just lovely, thank you.

Fabulous pub with a very welcoming landlord and staff. Stopped in last night for dinner and weren't disappointed. Lovely food and atmosphere.

Family of four with a large dog, Wednesday quiz night burger and chips or hotdog and chips £10. Great atmosphere and very friendly run. Would recommend basic but good value. And would return, given 5+ for this reason

Really recommend this pub for friendliness, great food and fair prices. The starters were a good size and main meals generous. "Homemade" means homemade and the vegetable lasagne is not to be missed. We ate inside but there is a nice garden at the rear. We will most certainly return.

Beautiful local pub in this little Cornish village. Staff friendly and the local Will happily have a chat with you. Highly recommend

Just left here after looking for a pub in the way out of Penzance. 6 adults 4 young sometimes loud children. The staff were extremely welcoming the food was excellent and was just an all round lovely place. Childrens food was a great size as well.

Had drinks on a Friday and the staff were helpful had Sunday lunch on father's day and it was lovely nice food good staff would definitely recommend

Lovely food Great place to eat and drink if I could give more than 5 stars I would for Food, Service and Atmosphere. Treated like me and my family were old friends. Been coming to Cornwall for years and never noticed this GREAT PUB how on earth did we miss this little Cornish GEM.GRRREAT BEEF BURGERS

WOW! What an absolutely lovely place , food was delicious, service was fantastic so attentive and the staff were so friendly , if I could have them ten stars I would have. As a family we usually travel to Hayle, or Penzance to eat out, not anymore, we have found are new favourite place to dine out. See you soon!

Excellent food and service in a very welcoming Cornish country pub. Fully recommended.

A nice friendly pub with great food.

Cornwall has a bit of a lack now of "normal" places to eat. Everything has got very stylised and fancy, which equals pricey! This is just really decent pub food sold at pub food prices, and everyone working there was very helpful and friendly. Can't believe we've never been there before and we will definitely be returning

Visited The Lion and Lamb over many years. Went for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious, staff friendly and helpful and a lovely atmosphere.

A very friendly and warm welcome back to our favourite pub/diner..

We went on a Sunday lunchtime. Nice pub. Small car park at the rear. Service was fair to good. The staff were quite jolly. Food was fair to good and the portions were generous.

A superb Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious excellent service from the owner a must visit the food was excellent and a very big plate of hot food had the beef and pork plenty of veg potatoes and Yorkshire pudding will be back next year to this cracking village pub / restaurant thanks again to the host 👍😀

Popped in on a Wednesday evening, and were the only people in there. No music so lacking atmosphere and very loud staff behind the bar.

Nice food good service we went for Sunday lunch it didn’t disappoint. We will definitely be back. good parking

We booked Sunday lunch here and it was amazing. We will definitely be going again now we've found it!

Called in on the off chance for Sunday lunch, the food was freshly and very well cooked. Which meant a little wait, but well worth it. Nice ambiance and the pub is spotlessly clean.

Had a good couple of evenings here. A good locals pub with a friendly character. Slightly limited real ale choice as one barrel was down, unlucky cowboy. The chef had a colourful outfit, take sunglasses!! Menu on line. Nice to see a pub with a proper pub sign.

Great Sunday lunch Nice pub, will definitely be using again

Food is Pub grub with slight variation here and there but good value, well presented and good quality. Sea bass casulet is a stand out. Needs a serve of bread with it; or am I being too continental? Doom Bar and Atlantic Pale on handpumps - kept very well. Cruz Campo/ Carlsberg/Pravha lagers, Orchard Thieves cider and a Craft beer- Mangolicious. Bottled beers, ciders and lagers. Music evenings in summer. Outside seating front and back. Large carpark. Best to book for food in summer season as it can get crowded. Bus stop just outside U4 Penzance to Falmouth.

We was on holiday. One of the best meals we had in a long time. Reasonable price. Would definitely go back if we visited the area again.

We were lucky enough to book a table for a Sunday roast and it didn't disappoint, it was home cooked and very tasty, we had the turkey & beef full roast, we will definitely be back soon, we sat next to the most adorable couple who lived locally, really made us feel part of the community, we highly recommend this place but would recommend booking to avoid disappointment 👍 the staff made us feel so welcome too and very friendly, so good to come across a well run pub with an outstanding clean well maintained in all areas.

Welcoming host, not been there long but very friendly

Came here for the first time (24/8/2023) with my family of 4 adults and 2 children. At the rear there is a free car park. A lovely oldy worldly pub with a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere from the staff and management. The food being home cooked, very tasty and good sized portions and we would very highly recommend this place to visit. We came here from Manchester and Hertfordshire.. Thank you all at the Lion and Lamb and hope to visit you again.😊👏👍💐

Only had drinks, great service, cold drinks, nice little place.

Had a family meal at this pub to end our holiday in Helston and to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Staff are very welcoming and let us bring a small birthday cake for her...they even put a candle! Will be back when we get the chance to come back to Helston!

Lovely bite to eat, friendly staff, cute place.

Good wholesome home cooking. Generous portions.

They even do a Sunday dinner for dogs, really made me smile nice touch that. Friendly too and well priced for once

Absolutely fun pub, until they get something wrong. Spent £200 over two nights, we admitted a previous drink the previous night we got wrong and we paid for it, no issue we didn't even raise it. This evening we took something this night back to the bar after something was missing from a drink, they decided to charge us twice for that same drink, simple mistake, fair enough we thought we sorted it at the end with the gentleman we had an absolute blast with said it was okay to get the drink taken off the next time we come in, because we wanted to come back again. However, after viewing the lady bartender who made us feel like absolute liars and poor attitude after observing her reaction to the incident made us feel awkward and unwelcomed for next time, ruining our atmosphere for the end of the night. Absolute shame to end our great experience this way, I do not like writing bad reviews.

Not great food to be honest. £21 for a steak meal. This was really poor. Utter disapointment. Ploughman's was ok but won't return for food. Its not up to scratch, sadly

Stopped off on our way back from St Michael's Mount. A warm welcome and instantly felt comfortable. Food was delicious. My husband had the steak and it was cooked to perfection. Kids well catered for and a good sized menu offering options for all tastes and appetites. Thank you for a Great ending to our day and we will definitely return if we are in the area.

Lovely pub food,lovely service ,friendly pub and good size portions .

What amazing food. Booked in for Sunday dinner. Food was great can't fault it at all, had the large roast. Meat was lovely veg was great not stewed. The staff are amazing nothing was too much trouble at all the did not stop all the time we were there. Definitely be back highly recommended

Lovely pub. Food was delicious and there was a good variety. Definitely will go back again

Myself and family stopped of here for dinner on the way home and wish we never did. Firstly we ordered three Pepsi max and one J20. 10 mins later the rude waitress (who name was Hannah I believe) came up to us and said they haven't got any Pepsi max just coke. So we got that changed. We then ordered our meal, 25 minutes later the same rude waitress came over and said the pie I ordered has now sold out so I need to pick something else. I wouldn't of minded but it had already been 25 mins by this point and only just telling me this now. Then nearly 30 minutes later our food finally arrived, Two gammon's came right, my gammon came with sweet potato fries which I did not order. When I questioned it they said they would fix the mistake but it would be another 10 mins. By this point it was nearly an hour after we first but the order in and did not want to wait any longer. We will not be going back there.

Beautiful food , but please be careful when paying your bill 🙄.. we were charged twice for one of our meals , honest mistake 🙄???.. luckily my son totaled up our complete meal an queried it when we received our bill..😦.. everything was sorted, no apology though...🙄!!...

Warm welcome when we arrived and chatted with us and our dogs 😁 The food was absolutly gorgeous and we all enjoyed our meals, even the dogs had there own menu, we couldnt resist in getting them some sausages and chicken nuggets. They arrived in their own bowls which the dogs loved. Definitely recommend this pub 👍

My partner and i went here for lunch. Its is a beautiful old pub, with plently of seating areas inside and outside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was great, Very tasty and cooked well. Great value for money, especially as they use high quality produce. I would highly recommend this pub to anyone

Popped over from our holiday let for an evening meal mid week. Found a great country pub with a very friendly welcome. Food was tasty and well cooked with very generous portions. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Will definitely try to return when we are next in the area.

Great food, and very friendly hosts. Well worth a visit.

We popped in here after a day at Praa sands. It's a lovely pub on the main road. Very nicely kept, spotlessly clean and very well run. Owners very pleasant to chat with and the crisp cold drinks just did the trick whilst we relaxed in the very nice beer garden at the rear. Good parking and very well maintained garden.

Passed this pub many times when we've been in Cornwall and after reading other reviews decided to pop in for a visit. We weren't disappointed... the pub has new owners who have been there 6 months. It's beautifully clean and welcoming inside decor is spot on. The food is great not fancy just good traditional options and big on the portions. We had the fish and chips and a chicken burger, all were fab. We sat outside in the outdoor area which was lovely. The service was fast and the food was hot. We'll definitely be visiting again.

What a great evening. Excellent food, excellent service. We wish the new owners very best wishes, far better and alot more welcoming than the previous owners. Thank you

Amazing service, we were staying in Praa called in last minute for Sunday lunch with our 2 children one over tired 4 year old and a baby. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Sunday lunch was all home cooked and very tasty. Great value and a lovely place.

Beautifully cooked Roast Turkey & Roast Beef Dinner & dessert today. Very friendly staff, would highly recommend a visit.

On holiday at Praa Sands and called in for lunch, a lovely welcome by the host, who told us he had been there for about 5 months. Had a beautiful meal outside in the newly refurbished garden area, all areas of the pub were spotless and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone in the area. We were even told about a beach nearby which we visited, was so quiet with honesty box for parking (£2) and lovely cafe also toilets by car park. Wishing you every success for the future and will definitely call in if down in Cornwall again. Phil &. Sylv

We loved this place, was told about it by site owner, and it didn't let us down, plenty of parking and really friendly place.

Great service and good food. A good selection of Sharp's ales and plenty of parking. There are very gardens front and back with plenty of parking

Our second visit and we had another lovely meal. The food here isn’t fancy just homely pub grub at a reasonable price. The pub is cosy and spotlessly clean and the toilets are an absolute credit to the staff ! .. nice to see the beer garden completed and looking pretty too ..

As locals we've visited the Lion and Lamb several times since Gary and Anita took over. We had dinner there last week, I had the fish and chips - lovely fish with thin, crispy batter - and my husband had a vegetarian pasta. So good...

Great food, brilliant atmosphere and very friendly staff. We are visiting on a fishing trip and couldn't have picked a better place to have dinner and shoot some pool!

Really nice spot, amazing beer garden, dog friendly, nice staff and owners, pool table. Only docked 1 star as paid £13 for a steak burger but it was just a beef patty so a little on the pricey side.

Called in for a meal found it to be a very nice pub food was excellent definitely go back

Stopped off for a drink what a beautiful pub, will be back with the family for food .

After a very long walk we planned to eat at the pub before heading back to our camp, the owners were extremely welcoming and although we were slightly too late for the food service they made an exception ( I think they could see we...

We had Lion & Lamb pale ale, a couple of steaks with a glass of Malbec each. The steaks were a good size and came out exactly as we’d ordered.

Really friendly staff, great beer but the food was poor.

Lovely cornish pub, great food , friendly staff.

Great cosy eating with a good selection on the menu & not expensive ! with fairly new owners extremely welcoming & friendly.

A lovely welcoming family friendly pub with a great menu. We visited the lion and lamb by sheer coincidence. It was in the right place at the right time and we are glad it was. The food was lovely inside and out. Food - Homely...

Lovely Roast, lovely and hot. Good service and very friendly. Were able to take our time, there was no rush for us to leave so had a lovely catch up with family

Lovely pub and meals are delicious. Prices are very reasonable.

Went for Sunday lunch after hearing good reports about the new owners, the food was very good ( new chef too) and the service was excellent. Good to see Sophie still behind the bar.

Lovely lunch here today. Have booked for Sunday Lunch soon. Dog friendly. Good carpark behind the pub.

Had a lovely meal here during our holiday last week, all our meals looked home cooked and tasty which everyone enjoyed. The pub is welcoming with nice decor, there is parking and some nice newly created outside space to the rear, we would recommend

2nd visit to the pub today whilst staying locally on a camp site. Both visits were great, owners were hugely nice and friendly. We had food on both occasions and in our opinion it was fantastic, had from all aspects of the menu and everything was fresh and lovely, I would highly recommend this place and would happily come again many more times

Set just off the main road this could be overlooked...but they have a spacious car park at the back and the welcome is worth the stop. Very friendly new owners, food was good honest pub food, tasty and freshly cooked and most importantly not overly...

Great location. Superb hosts. Dog friendly. Teenager friendly. Food was excellent. Good selection. Service was spot on, very tasty. We will be going back.

Great food and great hospitality. Landord and landlady are great hosts. Would thoroughly recommend. We are definitely going back!!

Homemade food, good value and very friendly owner.

There was a lovely atmosphere and the owners were extremely friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning, I highly recommend!

Brilliant hosts, brilliant food and immaculate vibes. Would highly recommend to anyone who passes here!

We visited March 2023 having visited previously in early 2022, since when there has been an obvious change in management. We received a very friendly welcome from the staff as well as the locals. The food was good, home cooked and very reasonably priced, we...

Wow you can tell the Lion and the Lamb is under new management! We went for a Sunday roast this weekend and would definitely recommend. Great service and lovely food. Even the kids ate it all! The new owners are really taking the time to...

Booked a table for 6 today for Sunday roast. Warm welcome on arrival and drinks order taken. We all had Sunday toast followed by desserts and coffee or tea. Everything served quickly and excellent quality. Very generous food portions and very nice! Great service. Definitely...

My husband and I visit the area for a few weeks each year but have always avoided this pub due to the poor reviews. We have a dog who can be a little reactive and the reviews all indicated we would not be welcome. After...

Visited for the first time today for Sunday lunch, after 4 years living in Helston and it was certainly well worth the visit. Under new management and couldn't have met more nicer people. Lovely hot and well presented roast dinner. Had room for a small...

Difficult to review because on the one hand the staff were super friendly and the overall atmosphere was good. Also enjoyed the choice of beers but unfortunately the food was a huge disappointment. All four of us ordered fish and chips…the food felt very basic in quality, taste and presentation and not worth the money spent. The portions were tiny. Almost children size portions….went home hungry and made toast!

New owners, very welcoming and friendly - the roast was freshly cooked, couldnt fault any of it - delicious. Owners went out of their way to ensure we got everything we needed - warm friendly and attentive - will certainly recommend and will be back...

Had a really good home cooked meal at the Lion and Lamb. Owners and staff were friendly and helpful and the food was very good. Definitely will return and recommend.

We visited as a last minute can't be bothered to cook evening. On arrival the staff were friendly and welcoming. I had the fish and chips which was freshly battered and worth the wait. Girlfriend had the burger which looked delicious and was plenty in...

Great traditional pub with local atmosphere

We live locally to this pub but haven't been for several years, however after a walk we decided to pop in for a drink with our dog. We asked if we could bring a dog in and were told we could and there were 3...
